Basically busted the mode C without ADS B out on a XC with a student. We were on flight following the entire time and ATC did not inform us of any ADS B out issues. When landing at the airport an aircraft informed us that we weren't showing up on their ADS B. And when seeking flight following back atc let us know that we weren't coming up on ADS B, but they were able to track us with our Mode C transponder. I didn't realize but there was a placad saying that the ads b out on board was disabled. I am afraid of letting the school know about this incident since they're not too happy on mistakes especially since I am new. What should I do?
